It's a pricey market. On average, stocks in the S&P 500 are trading at about 19 times earnings. Thanks to the market's 30% gain in 2013, that's a significant premium to earnings compared to last year's trailing-12-month P/E ratio of 16.8. If you're still looking for stocks for your watchlist, a handful of solid dividend stocks still offer value thanks to their promising income. Two, in particular, still look enticing: Apple and Oaktree Capital Management.
It's as simple as that. While they don't garner the notoriety of high-flying growth stocks, they're also less likely to crash and burn. And over the long term, the compounding effect of the quarterly payouts, as well as their growth, adds up faster than most investors imagine. With this in mind, our analysts sat down to identify the absolute best of the best when it comes to rock-solid dividend stocks.
